Alabama U.S. Sen. Katie Britt was announced Wednesday as the co-chairwoman of the Republican Women’s Caucus, a group of female members of Congress that will “focus on prioritizing and elevating the voices of Republican women.”

The announcement was made at the White House, where President Donald Trump celebrated Women’s History Month as he proclaimed he’ll be known as “the fertilization president” due to his executive order intending to expand access to in-vitro fertilization.

Britt and Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., launched the new caucus aimed at fostering growth of GOP women into leadership roles.

Its platform, Alabama’s junior senator said, is “American issues are women’s issues.”

“I’m honored to join this bicameral effort with Congresswoman Cammack to launch the Republican Women’s Caucus,” Britt said in a statement issued Wednesday evening.

“Today marks a historic opportunity to build on the coalition President Trump built last November, and to address critical issues – from prosperity and opportunity, to safety and security – impacting our families and our future. The Republican Women’s Caucus exemplifies our Party’s unwavering commitment to empower women and girls and deliver real results for the American people.”

Trump gave a shout-out to Britt as he spoke about the roles women have in his administration and the Republican women who help advance his agenda.

The president retold the story of how Britt influenced his position on IVF following last year’s controversial Alabama Supreme Court ruling that led some clinics to shut their doors.

“Katie called – your great senator from Alabama – … and she was, like, in a little bit of angst, right? She said, ‘sir, we just had a ruling from an Alabama judge who said, “you couldn’t have the clinics,” – IVF.’ And I was in my plane, and she said, ‘it’s terrible. Friends of mine are virtually attacking me…’ People don’t talk about [IVF] necessarily, why should they?” Trump said.

“But Katie called me up and said, ‘sir, you have to get on this right away. It’s terrible. They’re going to close up all the clinics.’ And so I said, ‘Katie, give me a quick definition please? Educate me in a minute or less.’ And she did,” the president said.

“And I came out totally in favor of what all of these women wanted, and it became our issue. We actually took it away … from the Democrats. They were late to the party, and really, I give you a lot of credit. So thank you very much. Thank you, Katie.”

Referencing his executive orders proclaiming there are only two genders and yanking federal funding from public schools that allow biological males to participate in women’s sports, Trump said his administration is “protecting women’s rights, defending women’s dignity and standing up for the American moms and daughters.”

“American women have never had bigger champions than all of us in the White House,” Trump said.

While touting policies he said would benefit all Americans, Trump added, “we’re going to have tremendous goodies in the bag for women, too.”

“The women, between the fertilization and all the other things that we’re talking about, it’s going to be great,” he said.

The crowd then erupted into laughter at Trump’s shorthand for IVF.

“I’m still very proud of it. I’ll be known as the fertilization president, and that’s not bad,” the president said to laughs. “That’s not bad. I’ve been called much worse. Actually, I like it, right? I like it.”
